Excitednuke threatened me in order to get me here...

But I have to agree with those points listed and agree that everyone should read this

Well done, Spork. You have my whole-hearted support with this endeavor. I agree that this should be stickied to the top of the RP section.

Hopefully this will actually be read by those who need to read it, rather than blatantly ignored.

You know who you are... Yes, especially you.

I'll get the superglue!

And yeah, I also know some people who should read this. Yeah, you. *points*

Great so my excessive whining actually paid off, and we have this brilliant thread. I realize we were all rookies at some point, but that also meant we took advice. I recommend this thread for those just starting, as it gives them that advice

Nice one mate, this should be stuck up alongside 'Escapist Role Playing And You'. I would make threats as well, but it seems people are doing that enough without my input, so beware. You know who you are...

Oh wait...

*raises hand* I also agree with the sticky! I'll PM Higs and ask for you Sporkster :p

I agree with this thread a lot more than I thought I would, this is actually part of the reason my newest RP was private x:

I'm not saying I don't like the new people, most of them seem really nice :D, I just wish they'd use punctuation and stuff...

And there isn't that much wrong with one liners, if you're stuck but need to post to get it moving, I think it should be allowed >_>

Writers block is hard T^T

Nothing wrong with the one liner, but if used in excess, just wrecks the flow of an RP

If I may say so myself, this is REALLY good.
A few people in my RP should take a gander at this puppy....

Oh, and perhaps you should add a brief part about player-player interactions. You know, giving the other player a chance to react unless what you have in mind is absolutely necessary.

Wow, I didn't expect such strong support. I was just putting this up as a sort of "Hey you! You're doing it wrong!" to the newbies, but getting it stickied would be great!

A thread has been merged with this one due to user requests for a sticky. Enjoy.

Edit: Hey Higs, mind putting a direct link in your OP? I'd do it for you, but it's more polite to ask. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/362.116378.4915965

How does one get involved in the RPG games listed here? Is there an "Introduction" manual or RPG 101 for potential players on the site somewhere?
